00:00A child was found dead in Umapao Creek in North Caloocan.
00:06The incident happened in the middle of pouring rain that was also experienced in some places.
00:11That's what I witnessed.
00:16While pouring rain earlier this afternoon in Marangay 176, North Caloocan,
00:21there were children playing in Umapao Creek.
00:24Suddenly,
00:25There, there, there.
00:27He's already there.
00:28He's already there.
00:29He's already there.
00:30A child was struck by a plastic barrier that was covered with water.
00:34Until now, rescuers are still looking for the missing person,
00:38who was identified as Jacob Anderson Manrique, 8 years old.
00:42According to the players,
00:43Jacob had a toy that was suddenly pushed by the plastic barrier to Umapao Creek.
00:49This is the barrier. I pushed it and it was pushed here.
00:52Then it was stuck in my ear.
00:54I saw that it was stuck and it suddenly fell down.
00:57The mother of the missing child said,
00:59he just said goodbye that he will take a bath in the rain.
01:02My son is so kind, sir.
01:04It's so hard, sir.
01:06You don't know what to think.
01:08Where is he?
01:10They are hungry. It's cold.
01:12Residents said,
01:13there are often children playing in the creek whenever it rains heavily.
01:17Because earlier, someone fell there.
01:19I told them not to do it again.
01:22That canal is like an embudo.
01:27It's big inside and small outside.
01:30It also rained in other places in Metro Manila,
01:33even in some parts of North Luzon Expressway.
01:36According to the players,
01:38Southwest Monsoon or Habagat is still affecting Southern Luzon and Visayas.
01:43It is expected to rain heavily in Metro Manila tomorrow afternoon,
01:47but it is possible that it will rise in some places by night.
